I've tried all that stuff that you paint on your nails, none of them work... The way i stopped was to bite some nails, but not bite others (sounds weird, but it worked for me!), then eventually i stopped biteing all of them :biggrin:

Interesting to note that you're a guy!

thats a genius idea actually. i'd also suggest ruling out watching anything competitive - england football matches cause me to lose all nails and most of my fingers from chewing :biggrin:

you could also try hypnosis to fool your brain into thinking if you chew your nails your limbs will fall off :biggrin:

wear a band around your wrist, and snap it everytime you are going to bite. thats what I did. and now my nails are VERY long (and curly he he :smile:

) I will post a pic soon

try that nasty tasting stuff. or put stuff on your hands that you wouldn't wanna eat. i dunno, dip them in toilet water or something equally gross.

Why is me being a guy with this habbit weird?

I need to stop though its annoying me!

My mum had a great technique to stop my dad biting his nails. Every time he tried to bite his nails, she punched his hand, which effectively punched him in the mouth! He soon quit!

gloves. In the winter is better.

Half the problem is you not realising you're doing it. Once you put that glove to your mouth you're totally aware of it!

Biting's not as bad as picking them. Which is how my dad got nails that look like a half-eaten creme brulee..

Have you tried chewing on your wrist instead? It's tougher to get through...

try chewing other things like a pen, or chewing gum. its weird but your mouth will already be occupied so you cant chew your nails

Sellotape over your fingernails. Biting sellotape is manky...

I used to bite my nails horribly untill they bled (ewwww!) anyway the way i stopped biting my nails was to get a manicure! I know your a guy, and you'll probably think it's gay and all but it really helped. When you see your nails all beautifal with no torn skin around them, you want to keep them like that so you dont bite.

A manicure isnt 'gay' - im comfortable with my sexuality thank you!

I pitty people who still think that way....
